chapter 5

“Spiritual divisions …”

Yi Ti carefully chewed these strange words . She usually liked to read novels that had words similar to this . However, a novel is a novel after all and she never thought that one day the words would really appear in reality .

And, in connection to her .

Really incredible .

She shook her head, throwing away these distractions . Re-energized, she turned back to the letter .

After discovering his talent as a divine master, the old man had studied the books left by his ancestors and devoted himself to that incredible world . He studied for so many years that he didn’t get married . He never regretted it until old age, when he felt his life would come to an end . Now he needed to find himself a descendant, a successor .

However, talented people are too rare .

Until he met a child named Yi Ti .

But by then it was too late .

His ancestors had left books and there is indeed a formula for a longevity pill . However . It was like bricks without straw . Even if there is a formula, if he couldn’t find the herb, it didn’t matter .

Having said that, the old man mentioned that when he was young, while on an adventure, he had found that piece of seemingly ordinary black stone . In the words of the old man, the stone was actually a “cave” . If Yi Ti understood correctly, it wasn’t so much a cave as a space . During that same adventure, he had made a contract to bind with the stone or Lingquan and the Lingshi .

The space inside the stone was about one hundred square meters in size and was filled with the aura of the world that was so lacking in the outside . Also, the flow of time was different inside the stone . If an hour passed inside the stone, only one second passed outside of it . The space inside the stone was not empty either . There was a mystical spring inside and a plot of mystic dirt . After testing, he found that the soil and water, once brought to the real world, would lose its effectiveness . Also, other than the owner of the space and plants, nothing else living could be stored in the stone . The old man speculated that this involved the cave law and didn’t look to deeply into it .

Then, he began to practice the breathing method left by the ancestors left and planting herbs . The Lingshi also aided in the growth of herbs . It’s power was only second to the Aura . With it, the old man decided he would do his best to restore the legacy of his ancestors by recovering the ancient plants . He also realized that he could also grow many new plants . Although he was very talented in growing plants, the old man’s cultivation talent was limited so he always remained at the level of Primary Spiritual division .

The usefulness of the cave was also very limited .

As the old saying goes, can’t have bricks without straw . Even if it could grow incredible plants, if a certain herb was extinct, then it could do nothing . It didn’t magically give seeds or seedlings . The legendary artifact could help practice herb craft but without the herbs needed, the old man could only watch his life come to an end . After meeting Yi Ti, the old man had thought long and hard before deciding to try to alter the Longevity formula .

He was inclined to try because success meant he could live for many years . If it failed… he was going to die soon anyway .

Although the letter did not say so, Yi Ti couldn’t help but feel that her appearance had made the old man more determined . So, he tried, but unfortunately … it ended in failure .

So, now Yi Ti will take over .

Finally, the old man said –

Child, your are far more talented than I . When I was tested, the Lingshi only gave off a dim glow, whereas for you, it blazed much brighter .

Having said so much, I don’t plan on forcing you to accept my heritage . It’s your life . You have the right to choose with your own will to accept it . No matter what kind of choice you make, I will bless you safely and a bright future .

Finally, I would like to remind you that the existence of the cave must not be revealed to anyone . Rich interests will only lead to terrible danger .

Also, if you need help, you can go to a nearby person named Liang Chen . For my sake, he will give you a helping hand .

”Good morning?” What a strange name with the homonym and “good” the same . Moreover, “person”…was it a woman or a man?

Yi Ti mulled over the words while she picked up the piece of black stone . The old man said in the letter that after his death, the contract binding him to the cave would lift . He told her it would be best to accept the cave . On one hand, there were probably many high-value herbs inside . On the other, having a way to carry items so easily was a very convenient thing .

But if Yi Ti accepted the Cave, it represented her intention to inherit the spiritual plant division .

To do spiritual plant cultivation…

Yi Ti asked herself if she really wanted to do it . The answer…

She wanted to give it a try .

So, according to the instructions left by the old man, she formed a contract with the stone . It began to float by itself and almost immediately, she felt a mysterious connection with it . Then, in accordance with what she had learned, she tentatively reached out to the stone and thought “come here . ”

The next moment, she felt a slight pain in her wrist . On her wrist now was a crescent-shaped, black pattern branded in her skin .

Later, Yi Ti into the Lingquan .

She looked around this new space . There was a field full of spectacular herbs . In addition, not far from the side of the field also stood a few bookshelves, elixer equipment, and a series of items . This was the precious heritage left by the old man .

After looking around for a short while, Yi Ti decided to leave . She didn’t want to stay long in the beginning because her head was swimming with so much new information . She needed time to process it . Also, within the space it was a little hard to breathe from all of the Aura .

So with a thought, Yi Ti returned to reality, and was shocked by what she saw . .

For no reason, the whole room was packed full with Cecil’s tentacles .

Yes, packed!

”This is what you want to do ah?” Only one sentence came out . Before she could say anything else, he wrapped numerous tentacles around Yi Ti lifting her in the air . So this is what he wanted??

”You’ve come back . ” Cecil said looking up at her with surprise and relief .

”What?”

”You just disappeared,” Cecil said as he carefully set her down . The tentacles wrapped around her were also loosened, but he did not immediately let go . Instead, he asked, “Will you disappear again if I let you go?”

”… …” This guy … … so he was worried about her ah? Yi Ti remembered his worried tone and suddenly felt a little ashamed . Slightly embarrassed, she told him “Sorry, I let you worry . ”

”Will you disappear?” he repeated the previous question, as if the answer was very important .

”Are you afraid of me disappearing?”

”I know that once an earthling is gone from the world, it means disappearing forever . And disappearing forever is equivalent to death . ” Cecil asked earnestly, “I do not want to see my friend die, Will you die? “

”What to say,” Yi Ti could not help laughing, “I am human, of course, I will die . ” Immortality is the Lao Yaojing, right?

”…”

”Ah, of course,” Yi Yi said quickly, “]not now! I think it should be a long time before I die . Long enough to … … ah, you have to refill your energy to return home, and then come back to see me . You have to give me a gift from outer space . “

”You really won’t die now?”

”Of course . ” In order to increase the credibility of what she said, Yi Ti nodded .

She thought about the instructions she had read in the letter . She considered telling Cecil about the Lingquan but decided against it . While Cecil’s five senses were extremely powerful, he couldn’t sense the space that she now controlled . Also, even though she had been in the space only a few minutes, outside he had disappeared for a few tenths of a second . Finally, with the amazing energy of the space, she worried that Cecil might want it and try to take it from her . Then she would have betrayed the old man’s legacy .

Luckily, Cecil appeared to only be happy she was back and that she wouldn’t die . “Excellent!” he said, and because he was so happy, he lifted her back into the air .

Yi Ti however, was not happy with this . She was not a child … … However, some people (and by people, she meant the alien…she couldn’t keep thinking of it as a slime…that’s not very polite ah) were only concerned about their own happiness . So she smiled and held out her hand and patted Cecil’s head, “Thank you for worrying about me . ”

The next second, Yi Ti suddenly started to feel hot .

This was certainly not her body temperature rising, but those tentacles wrapped around her . … …

This guy was still shy?

”Hey, do you want to make me a barbecue?”

Cecil’s pudding-like body trembled and he immediately put Yi Ti on the ground . Then he quickly recovered all the tentacles . But, almost at the same time, his whole body began to go limp, into a soft cake .

Yi Ti was shocked: “Are you ok?”

”Do not worry, I just consumed some energy and will recover it in a while . ”

”… …” Do not worry? Of course she was going to worry .

Unfortunately, this situation seems to be more serious than the last . Yi Ti waited for quite a long time and Cecil only restored himself by half . So now it looked like a partially melted ice cream . In the end, she can only pick it up (no, it is a he! Say, Cecil should be a man right?) . She was just about to ask when…

”Stop Stop! -“

”……”Hey! Don’t just arbitrarily decide to raise your body temperature and then melt again!

Really, just hold it in! There should be a limit to how shy he can be right?
